  1. DVD was released 20 years ago this year. The first DVD movie's release date is closer to Atari 2600 release date than it is to us today

      My first DVD purchase was Tenchi Forever, in October 1999. My first DVD player was the Creative Labs 12X DVD-ROM drive that I bought a year later, packed with their Dxr3 MPEG decoder PCI card.

      The BLU-RAY format is 10 years, not counting SONY's 2003 BD-CORDER, so, 14.

      Oh, and I have a refurbished PS2 from mid-2000. Refubished, though it has never given me any trouble, except when the tray front detached 'cos my brother dropped it on my foot. Super-glued it back on, has worked fine.

      EDIT Fixed hilarious redundancy.

      Seriously, with all the inaccuracies in that story, it makes me wonder about all the ones I do not know enough to judge. What universe is this???

      Lafe Travis Games made an unofficial "Grandpa Pac-Man" in 1998, but I don't know if Pac-Man's father has featured in any game.

      He wasn't the father of Pac-man.. he was however his boss.

  2. Did you know? Youtube was started because the creator missed the famous Janet's nipple scene in Superbowl halftime show: https://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2015/02/01/how-janet-jacksons-super-bowl-wardrobe-malfunction-helped-start-youtube/#16fb195f19ca

  3. I was visiting my daughter last night when I asked if I could borrow a newspaper. "This is the 21st century" she said. "We don't waste money on newspaper. Here, use my iPad." I can tell you that fly never saw it coming!

      Well, it could have been worse. You could have been looking for liner for the birdcage.

      At Wal-Mart I saw a cutie riding in an electric buggy. She had 4 large boxes of Hot Pockets, 10 bags of potato chips, 4 cases of pop. Too bad she was wider than the buggy. :)

      Art Fleming originally hosted Jeopardy, although for nowhere near the time Alex has. Still - the show isn't built around Alex and another host with a quick mind could step in well.

      I was wondering if the guy who hosted Sports Jeopardy would be good at hosting the original Jeopardy.

      It really makes you wonder, though...Who'd lose a storage unit like that?? Maybe a dead person is all that I can come up with.

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Otherwise, they'd have looted their own valuables before losing the unit, or better yet, sold some stuff to pay rent!

      I hope it's someone who didn't know or passed- I had a co-worker once who lost a storage unit that was auctioned off due to a clerical error. She could even prove she hadn't missed a payment- but too late, it was already gone.

      Back when I was a junior in high school my grandmother died and I succumbed myself to constant eating and a bitter attitude from the time I got back from the funeral to the end of the year.

       

      That's tough, really tough. Though when my other grandma died I wasn't that upset since it was just going to happen but before then I was crying for no reason and having a rough time.
